Lauren Rule Maxwell


I am an associate professor of English at The Citadel who specializes in contemporary literature from the Americas. A native of Richmond, Virginia, I graduated from Wake Forest University with a B.A. in English and a minor in Biology. After writing professionally for healthcare organizations in Washington, D.C., I earned my M.A. and Ph.D. from Emory University.

I teach classes in American and contemporary literature as well as writing courses such as Freshman Composition, Advanced Composition, and Professional Writing at The Citadel. Since 2008 I have been involved with the Lowcountry Writing Project, which aims to help teachers use writing more effectively in their classrooms.
